KONG Cozie Spunky the Monkey Dog Toy

My dog has not touched Cozie Spunky the Monkey Dog Toy at all since he arrived. I've been trying to figure out why. It could be that he is too old (almost 17) and didn't feel like playing. He just looked at the Monkey Dog and walked away. The monkey dog is on the bed with my dog, but nothing happens. It could be that he's still grieving the loss of his brother. So in terms of the Monkey Dog, I thin its cute even though I don't like the texture/material it's made of; it doesn't feel good on the skin. My dog has hair so that can't be the reason he won't go near it or play with it.

My two French Bulldog puppies love their rhino. Unfortunately, one is a very aggressive chewer & Spunky lost her ears. Overall, it holds up to them pulling & tugging on it. It's light enough that they can carry it around. It is good that it comes in two sizes. I had 4 Frenchies in my house of the holidays & it withstood their playing too.

These toys use to be great. They us to be made from thick fire hose material. Now they are buying much thinner fire hose. You know, that same fake thin stuff other companies are using just so they can say they use fire hose material but is as thin as any other cloth and just as easy to tear? Their name is no longer living up to the reputation they’ve built. Apparently they no longer really care about that reputation. They think they can just float on the history of their reputation and not deliver quality products anymore in this economy. Good luck with that. My dog use to take months to destroy one of these. They now take less than five minutes. The quality you use to get with them is over. These toys use to be great. They us to be made from thick fire hose material.

I am now having better luck with other brands but if they are going to pull what they have decided to pulled here, I’m just going to buy my own fire hose and start making my own dog toys because it will be less of a waste of money. I bought a frog once from tuffy over a year ago that’s still holding up. I think I’ll see if they are holding up their reputation or if they are also doing what these other brands are doing to their customers. … more

It’s been a week since I introduced monkey to my dog. She loves it! So far, it has stayed intact and the squeaker is still working. She does like to chew, but we mainly play go fetch with it, and she likes to shake it around. I do not play tug of war with it, although that’s what she would like. It is working for her but may not for a dog that rips stuffed animals apart. It was a good purchase for us.

Love Kong toys, however, this little monkey lasted about 5 minutes in our house. Our Doxie-Poo had this opened and it’s contents spread everywhere within minutes. Not the quality we expect from Kong products.

Our Border Collies love playing tug with this monkey. One of them walks around with him squeaking him constantly! I just caught her falling asleep with him in her mouth. He is still intact after 3 weeks of playing indoors. Great toy!

If your dog is a chewer, pass on this. We gave it to our dog for Christmas. He is not the biggest chewer and he still managed to get through it in less than a day. Kong toys are not what they use to be.

My dogs are heavy chewers. I thought I'd be able to let them take some new toys to their boarding while we went on vacation, but they tore threw them in 10 minutes or less.

I got several for my pack and gifts for dogs in the family. More durable than some of the cheaper stuffed toys. Won’t hold up forever with the heavy chewers, but my moderate guys are enjoying it.

My dog loves this, it's the only stuffed animal he hasn't ripped the stuffing out of- not sure if it's because it's more durable or if it's because he's getting old and his teeth aren't as great but he cuddles with it and carries it around.
